• Comment: If anyone's interested, especially if you don't know black metal, this (NSFW) is what Urgehal sounds like. Enzifer can be seen on the left, wearing pretty much the same stuff. That's a fairly typical black metal sound- not to everyone's taste. J Milburn (talk) 00:26, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
• Weak support -- Horrible character! A shame that the crop is so extreme. Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:22, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
